Hi, Just went to look at your ELDK ... seems the rpms don't have patch in them ... which package as the source code for the build? I tried these ... but looks like there is only binaries in them ... util-linux-ppc_8xx-2.11f-17.ppc.rpm SELF-ppc_8xx-1.0-1.ppc.rpm Jim -----Original Message----- From: Wolfgang Denk [mailto:wd@denx.de] Sent: Sunday, January 12, 2003 5:40 PM To: James Don Cc: linuxppc-embedded@lists.linuxppc.org Subject: Re: RAMDISK IMAGES(2): ash has no job control ??? ... can't acces s tt y; job control turned off In message <DB0585C9F6F9D411BE8F00D0B7896A4CC0603B@SNCMAIL> you wrote:

It is you who defines the use of the serial ports on your board - we cannot answer this question.

You probably don't want to make your ramdisk image dependend on a specific board / tty use. If you look closer at our ELDK you will find that it contains a small modification to "login" (calling of TIOCSCTTY ioctl) which was necessary to allow for using /dev/console as the default serial console device specified in inittab. See the build/target_rpms/util-linux/SOURCES/login-eldk.patch file in the ELDK build environment.
